This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Kogyae Strict Nature Reserve, the only one in Ghana, was established to promote scientific re- search, particularly on how nature revitalizes itself after major disasters, and also to check the southward drift of the savannah grassland. This study presents the first comprehensive inventory of species composition and diversity of insects of the Reserve. Insects were surveyed between September 2011 and June 2012 to capture the end of the rainy season, the dry season and the peak of the wet season. Samples were taken from two sites within the Reserve, Dagomba and Oku using various sampling techniques including pitfall traps, malaise traps and sweep nets. Insect com- munities were characterized in terms of, 1) species richness estimators, 2) species richness, 3) Shannon-Weiner Index of Diversity, 4) Pielou’s evenness and 5) Bray-Curtis similarity.

  • FINAL REPORT Biodiversity Assessment, and Strategic
    FINAL REPORT Biodiversity assessment, and strategic conservation planning, for the riparian forests of the Spiny Forest Ecoregion of Madagascar. By: Alison Cameron (PhD student, Leeds University, UK) and Maminarina Dutel Ravoninjatovo (DEA student, University of Tulear, Madagascar) Introduction Madagascar has been called the highest biodiversity priority in the world but biodiversity conservation priorities within Madagascar are only now being identified. Recent research, biodiversity planning and conservation action have focused on east coast rainforest areas, while other areas of potentially very high biological interest have largely been ignored. The WWF Spiney Forests Ecoregion action plan indicates that West coast dry forests and riparian forests are under-represented in Madagascar’s reserve system, and are being degraded and fragmented at very high rates. This project is therefore addressing deficiencies in biodiversity data for this region in collaboration with The University of Tulear, WWF, and Frontier. Project Aims and Objectives To provide an opportunity for transfer of entomological survey skills from Alison Cameron (PhD student) to a Malagasy DEA student (Maminarina Dutel Ravoninjatovo). To provide the DEA student with experience of project decision making processes and meeting project by providing opportunities to integrate with project teams from WWF (World Wide Fund For Nature) and Frontier Madagascar. The production of a DEA thesis, co-supervised by the University of Tulear and WWF staff in Tulear. To make field survey data publically available through the national biodiversity data base, known as the “Platforme D’Analyse” (PDA)*. Training Initial training was conducted in Beza Mahafaly Special Reserve, between the 29th - 31st Oct 2002. Alison spent 3 days in the field training Dutel (Photo 1 right) and also Edidy (Photo 1, left) who runs the small natural history museum at Beza Mahafaly.

Première évaluation de la biodiversité des Odonates, des Cétoines et des Rhopalocères de la forêt marécageuse de Lokoli, au sud du Bénin. In: Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France, volume 113 (4),2008. pp. 497-509; https://www.persee.fr/doc/bsef_0037-928x_2008_num_113_4_3046 Fichier pdf généré le 08/10/2019 Abstract First evaluation of Odonata, Coleoptera Cetoniidae and Lepidoptera Rhopalocera biodiversity in the Lokoli swampy forest of South Benin. Odonata, Coleoptera Cetoniidae and Lepidoptera Rhopalocera were collected during 2006 from the Lokoli swampy forest. 24 Odonata species were listed, with 13 new species for Benin, including Oxythemis phoenicosceles Ris, a rare species, and Ceriagrion citrinum Campion, an endangered species on the IUCN red list, which suggest that this forest should be made a nature reserve. 12 flower beetles species were listed, most of them live only in forests. Cyprolais aurata (Westwood) is known to be a species living only in swampy rainforests and Grammopyga cincta Kolbe is known in Benin only in Lokoli and in Ouémé valley. Among 75 butterflies species, 28 are new to Bénin and only 9 occur strictly in forests. The uncommon species Eurema hapale Mabille, E. desjardinsii regularis Butler and Acraea encedana Pierre live only in swampy areas. The Lokoli swampy rainforest is ecologically unique in Benin and contributes to regional biodiversity, therefore it must become protected as nature reserve.
